I don't know why I bought this. It does have a nice fragrance, but it is no different than attempting to wash your hair with any other conditioner-- all conditioners contain some detergents, so any will give you the same effect.
That being said, this left a sticky film on my hair, even though I rinsed thoroughly. What a waste of money.

I have not used anything other than the Wen products in my hair for over 2 years and I always receive compliments from stylists for having the most healthy they have seen. This works great on your dogs too! It won't dry their skin out, and it leaves their coats amazingly shiny and healthy!— 5 years, 9 months ago

Great product, made my hair soft and tangle free. Although the "no lather" kind of was interesting as a concept since it was a new thing for me. It takes a long time to apply, etc. And I was shocked at how much product I had to apply (per directions) to my long hair. It was like I was doing a workout, with all the pumps I had to do. It won't last me very long, seeing as I had to use almost 30 pumps!!! I'm unsure as to if I will be buying this product again, but it's a good product.

My two reactions after using this product were 1/ My hair looks better than it has in a long time, and 2/ There is no way that the product amount, 12 oz, will last a month if used as directed. Tough choice, so instead I use less harsh shampoo for color treated hair. Then I take about six pumps, instead of fourty, and use it just like a regular conditioner. I use one pump as a leave in conditione...read morer. My hair looks just the same using it as only a conditioner, as it did using it as a cleansing conditioner. Wen was created back when shampoo like Prell would strip all the oils from the hair. Nowadays there are shampoos that are designed to be gentle and color preserving. This way you can have the best of both worlds.— 6 years, 9 months ago

I have fine, straight hair that is easily weighed down and can get noticeably greasy in my bangs and at my roots. I like to use sulfate free products to avoid my scalp overcompensating and producing even MORE oil, but I didn't find this one to be anything special, in spite of it being designed for oily hair. I have also used the Sweet Almond Mint and actually found that it kept my hair looking cle...read moreaner by the end of the second day, as I wash my hair every other day. This one also smells like muscle cream, as I heard someone describe it once. Which isn't terrible, just...odd.

I donâ€™t see myself passing on a yummy smelling bottle of shampoo in lieu of concocting my own baking soda and vinegar rinse anytime soon, so I took Chaz at his word and trusted the Cucumber Aloe Cleansing Conditioner for the job! WEN is TOTALLY different than anything youâ€™d expect, at least it was for meâ€“ a habitual shampoo offender. Check your pre-conceived shampoo notions ...read moreat the door, WEN doesnâ€™t lather or suds at all and will take some getting used to! You may even think there is no way that the thick and creamy concoction is even touching the oils that have taken over your scalp. Youâ€™ll also use much more of this product than what we consider normal, so donâ€™t be alarmedâ€“ it takes about 30 pumps to ensure the product is evenly distributed for my hair texture and length. The process is more involved and time consuming than just lathering some shampoo in my hair and rinsing it out, and the longer you leave WEN on the better it works. Keeping these things in mind, I was really impressed with how light my hair actually feltâ€“ it was almost bouncy. I canâ€™t forget about the shine! The Cucumber Aloe Cleansing Conditioner left behind a shimmering shine on my black hair that I ordinarily canâ€™t achieve with traditional shampoos and conditioners alone. And the fragrance? Heavenly! I know this may sound impossible, but the Cucumber Aloe is both soothing and invigorating at the same time. I donâ€™t get to say that very often! For something that conditions so much, it cleanses incredibly well and builds volume at the same time. Itâ€™s definitely not your everyday shampoo!
If you just donâ€™t think youâ€™ll ever be able to kick your sudsy habit and youâ€™re hooked on it, this honestly may not be for you and it could end up being a â€œwashâ€. If youâ€™re on the product-adventurous side and want to explore other shampoo options, or have hair that screams for lots of TLCâ€“ give WEN a shot. While itâ€™s not a permanent shampoo solution for me since Iâ€™m perpetually testing new products, I do enjoy the change and so does my hair!— 8 years, 2 months ago

" I had hoped the whole Wen system would be as advertised, at first i thought this was a miracle product and i would never use anything ever again, the more i used the product I found it left my hair, flat and limp and an unpleasant residue. I followed directions and used the cleanser and styling cream. I tried using more; I tried using less. In contrast to claims, I found I was desperate to clean...read more my hair MORE, not less, often. I was committed to trying it for a week, but after 5 days, I gave up and I have never felt so good as when I used my usual high quality shampoo and conditioner, also with many naturally-sourced, plant ingredients. . I am still using the cleanser on an occasional, but not regular basis, but have abandoned the styling products. "— 2 years, 4 months ago
